Essential Pruning Tips for Winter: Prepare Your Garden for Spring

Winter is the perfect time to prune and prepare your garden for the growing season ahead. Here’s how to get it right:

1. Know What to Prune

Focus on dead or damaged branches, as well as overgrown areas. For flowering plants, prune after their blooms fade.

2. Use the Right Tools

Sharp, clean tools make pruning easier and prevent damage to your plants.

3. Timing is Key

For fruit trees and roses, winter pruning encourages strong spring growth. Don’t leave it too late!

4. Don’t Overdo It

Prune strategically to shape your plants and encourage growth without stressing them.

5. Mulch After Pruning

Spread mulch around the base of your plants to lock in moisture and nutrients.
